Every cloud has a silver lining!

Im not sure if I would of embarked on this new journey had it not been from losing my job last winter.  As odd as it seems it was one of the best things to happen to me. Its amazing how those negative events in your life make you stronger  and more positive.  Losing my job allowed me a moment to breathe to see what really matter in my life. My only new Years resolution in 2015 was simple...to be happy. While I was off I took a moment or rather several moments to ponder on what would make me happy. Well I certainly wasnt happy feeling like crap everyday. My stomach hurt, I was tired all the time and sad! 

So I began to read.... books about people who had chosen  to change their lives. to use the negative events in their lives to make them stronger!  Books like Crazy Sexy Diet. Passionate Nutrition, and Deliciously Ella littered my bedside table. Each of these authors had taken a holistic approach to healing themselves.... they had gone back to their roots and began to life a simpler life, one filled with positive energy and real food.

Being off work not only gave me time to reflect it also gave me time to cook. Soon my fridge and freezer was full of mason jars filled with simple but nutritious food. I found myself smiling more, excited about what I was going to make next!

A long time ago my father taught me that no matter how dismile a situation is there is always a silver lining in every cloud. Its your choice to .... do you see the cloud or do you see the silver lining. My father is a very wise man would you not agree!
